NCAA Tournament

[RamblinRed]

I had the same result you did Cuse and I don't know about you but my confidence level was very low this year with brackets. It just didn't feel like there were any dominant teams that couldn't be beat if they weren't really on their A game.

I always felt like my bracket was going to blow up, just a matter of when.

All year I thought Duke had the best starting five, but they weren't always a great team. Last night in the final 8-9 minutes they were. Playing like that will win the championship.

Well mine sure as hadies has blown up. Other than picking a deep run by UNC not sure I got much right. Only one Final Four pick left (KS). Is kind of liberating though

Ha. Like you just came out of the 'bad basketball prognosticator' closet. Wait, is that offensive?

 

[YlJacket]

Well I feel insulted - even if it is sort of true.

Then give me a few hours. I need to contract with a fancy P.R. firm to concoct my heartfelt 'apology'.

You can choose whatever narrative you want.

I'm sticking with: I went all-in preflop with pocket aces, but that only gave me an 80% chance of beating ducks (pocket 2's). I made the perfect bracket with the information available at that time. Everyone else got lucky.

Announcement: Board Wide distribution:

After some deep soul searching, I am happy to share both with our larger GTSwarm family, and most specifically our pal @YlJacket that @kg01 regrets the approach he took to levity.

He understands how his comment, when taken in the absurd absence of the context that he holds you in the highest and dearest regard, could be misconstrued as insensitive.

To help aid him in his journey of self-reflection and self-improvement he asks that you donate to his goFundMe @KG01VacationSlushFund.

Please ignore the unfortunate name, he totally isn’t going to use the monies from this fund to fly to the mayfield farms and get the ice cream straight out the freezer.. Scouts honor.

Oh I can totally relate to this.

I can see through the incredibly thin veneer of your "apology" for KG and am not swayed in the least. You both shall soon hear from my emissaries at Dowe Cheatem and Howe with regards to the substance required to effect a true apology. While it may not approach the scale of KG's Mayfield addiction, I can assure you I do expect it to be substantial.

You want to go ahead and send me your account details so I can take care of this?

Yikes! What have I gotten myself embroiled in!

Haha. Appreciate you; and the laughter in these dark, Gonzagaless days of the tourney.

No worries, Mid. He committed a fatal error in insensitively referencing my "addiction".

That's a no-no in 2022, baybee. I smell a countersuit that'll keep us both knee-deep in ice cream sandwiches for the rest of our lives.

I've loved watching this St. Peter's team. They remind me of the GT team last year. They play tough, get in opponents' heads, win the mental games, win every 50/50 ball, and they do not give a **** about the brand of your logo.

 

[YlJacket]

Anyone else wondering what Devoe could have done if we ran some of the sets St Peter’s runs for Edert?

My colleagues have told me to fold given the risk of major losses to fund KG’s Mayfield addiction for life

 

[awbuzz]

Wow! St. Peter's keeps rolling!!

Guess they lived up to National Peacock Day

 

[YlJacket]

Yep I am the only one in the country to have St Peter’s going to the Elite 8 in my bracket

You have flex rights for the rest of your life is this is the truth.
